Cleansing is a very vital step of a skincare regime because it removes harmful toxins and environmental pollutants that block the pores of the skin and result in variety of skin issues (dull skin, dry skin, acne, redness etc.)
It is a fact that most skin cleansers available in the market today, are slightly expensive and contain harsh chemicals that may cause skin irritation. Fortunately, there are many natural safer and inexpensive alternatives for you to try, from the comfort of your own home.
We know that searching for the ideal homemade cleanser for your skin type can be a bit confusing, and we gathered for you the best 5 recipes for each skin type:
Strawberries and lemons contain vitamins, enzymes and AHA’s which have a mild exfoliating action and decrease large pores, acne scars and oiliness without causing excessive dryness.

Try coffee granules for cleansing. It also works well. I always look for new ways to reduce and reuse things in my daily routine, so i tried coffee grounds also and got really great results.
Love all of them ! Though my favorite is the last one. I used it before and I know that it really works for my skin.
I tried Avocado one. Did make it smooth enough but I think it worked ok. I think one can try it even if your skin is a bit dry.
